TPS has identified 35-year-old Kelon Peters of Toronto as a suspect and says he is considered "violent and dangerous," according to a press release.
The elderly woman was assaulted at around 11:15 a.m. last week in what appeared to be a "random attack," according to a tweet. A spokesperson for TPS previously told Narcity that she was reportedly hit with a "nasty punch" and was left unconscious.
Peters reportedly fled the scene, and according to TPS, the elderly woman was "revived" and taken to the hospital for her injuries.
According to the latest news release, Peters is wanted for assault causing bodily harm, fraud in relation to fares and breach of probation.
Police describe Peters as a six-foot-tall Black man, and at the time of the incident, he was reportedly wearing dark clothing and a hat.
TPS has released photos of Peters where he can be seen in what looks like dark pants, a black shirt, white sneakers, and a hat with what appears to be a white or gray piece of clothing or fabric over his shoulder.
